GHR Killer Hamstring Exercise (Very Underrated)

We are back with another amazing exercise index video. Today we talk about the GHR. The GHR has to be one of the most underrated hamstring exercises. This is great for athletes to help prevent hamstring tears. You don't want to start with this but it should be in your workout. Watch the video and I go over all of that.

Not enough people know how to train hamstrings properly, or even do it at all. The eccentric motion on these is VERY effective, & agree with your advice on how to sequence this training. 👍

[@mountaindog1]

Absolutely!

I would say 97% of people do not know how to use this device correctly....and this includes gym employees/trainers....only a few videos out there that show proper technique and this is most definitely the best GHR video

[@mountaindog1]

thank you!

Still one of the best GHR videos out there, thanks John. Your work and ideas live on.

[@anthonyluisi7096]

Thank you John . I just purchased a GHR and now due to your video . I know how to do these properly ... I wish everybody could have you as a coach 👍🏻👏🙏

[@potato00007]

My gym has a rogue glute ham raise and haven’t seen a single person use it correctly. Everyone used it reverse for crunches/sit ups or they do back extensions. I love this machine.

"We want maximum tension" - yes indeed! Our gym needs a GHR big time. I miss these. Any exercise that's really hard usually really works :)

[@keridestito6206]

I love this exercise.. the way that you explained it is so spot on.. one of my go to exercises for targeting the hamstring and I actually have seen some improvements in a short period of time ! Your channel is one of my favorites! Awesome!!!!

Still watching ur Videos man. Rest in Peace. Thx for all the wisdom.

[@parkerrish9024]

Totally agree John, I know that hamstrings are a difficult area for most people and I found that doing heavier exercises and focusing more on the negative has given a tremendous amount of growth in this area.

I have been doing these lately after watching one of John's previous videos and I gotta say it is a hamstring destroyer!

[@fedelercari]

Man, i miss John's videos so much

[@joeschmo2693]

My gym owner got rid of ours. I asked him what happened to it, he didn't know what I was talking about. When I described it, he just said, "Oh, nobody used it". Decent guy, works out, but not an enthusiast. Footprint couldn't have been more than 10 sq ft.

[@mountaindog1]

smh

[@ben5986]

I’m tired with all KZbin fitness information. Everybody making exercises different according to their style... But JOHN is different the information is really helpful and his tips are always good. I would say that if anyone looking for the perfect video guidance this is the place

[@littlefinkle7757]

Awesome information John. I have fallen in love with decline again just by stacking 2-25 lb plates under the feet end of the flat bench. My shoulders are doing great and my pecs love the pump of the decline. All because of one of your videos a couple weeks ago! Keep them coming, I am 45 and am loving hitting the gym all over again! 🇺🇸💪

[@doncontaxis7181]

gratitude mr.meadows for sharing your knowledge and expertise

[@mountaindog1]

You are very welcome

[@BrianMoore-z8g]

this really helped me. my gym just got one and I did it all wrong. going to hit it again the right way. Thanks!

[@Dan-hb7om]

Great explanation as always! I have used a resistance band to help on the concentric. I mean a thick resistance band looped over the back of the machine and around my upper chest. I use may hands to keep it in place. Helps a lot to get the form down for a full range of motion. Still can't do them without assistance but I can definitely fell them in my HS!! Keep up the great work John!!

[@johnwayne3491]

John’s legacy of helping people lives on and likely will for decades. RIP JOHN the “dad” helping the fitness industry

[@wow3529]

No one really knows about this or Nordic curls inside the lifting community, however as a sprinter, these and nordics are essential for rehab and injury prevention, as sprinters get more hamstring injuries than any other sports due to the forces we endure when our leg fires down from hip flexion. RIP to a legend who had widespread knowledge, a massive loss to the fitness industry🙏

[@akuma1921]

Added this to my leg routine. RIP ❤️🙏🏾💪🏾

[@CysticFibrosisFit]

Have to wait to do those exercises again... I can't risk getting infected... But YES! It's a killer, but often done wrong... As always, great info from you, big humble man 💪 Greetings from Belgium 👋👋

[@ypmm53]

We miss you John! RIP JM aka Mountaindog...

[@lazycalc2533]

One thing that helps is getting a slight crunch in your abs and keeping that tension throughout the entire movement. Also driving your knees down through the floor during the concentric movement.

[@Skunked716]

Thank you John for another great video. Great tip-I really need to slow down the eccentric and not “dive bomb” down as I tend to do. Looking forward to trying this!

[@stevenzak199]

I've never had access to a glute-ham machine, even in the gym, but I got a glute-ham strap from Spud, Inc. that goes around a weight bench to provide a place to hook your feet. The problem with it has always been the difficulty of getting your feet under the strap -- if it's too tight, you can't easily twist around to face forward, and if it's too loose, it doesn't hold you properly. Today I tried getting in position and then slipping a yoga half-moon-shaped bolster or pillow under my knees. That lifts me away from the strap, thereby tightening it enough that I really felt it in my hams. (I tried a BOSU first, to try to simulate that angled cushion you have on the GH bench, but it didn't feel right, possibly because it needs some air. I'll have to inflate it more and try again. But the bolster under my knees worked great.) Your cue to keep your hips locked and not round your back worked great. I tightened my glutes and dropped forward, and my hams really lit up.

[@DJFaNaTiiC]

Phenomenal cues. Going straight out with the body straight lights those hams and glutes like crazy

[@HeathWatts]

This is great video. John was an excellent teacher.

[@LadyThor]

Great exercise! Nordic leg curls (eccentric only) really helped me recover from a hamstring strain last year, and I've been doing them on and off as prehab ever since. Gonna have to start working in the concentric!

[@VernCrisler]

Great exercise. I'm starting to see real gains in my hamstrings and glutes because of this machine. Learning to do the exercise correctly will take a while, though.

[@billmac4445]

Great tips as always Mr. Meadows. I probably use too much lower back on these, but I still feel a good bit of my glutes and hams.

[@wolfnuske8884]

Unfortunately, if you don´t have access to a GHD you have to rely on whacky setups with an assisting partner or a barbell. So I probably have to stick to weighted hyperextensions with a barbell. Great content as always anyway.

Valuable, thanks!

[@theblackpanda5860]

In my commercial gym, the GHR is used as a crunch machine, a chair, a curl machine, or a dip machine - rarely ever as a GHR.

Situps on this are money tho

Ah, that's the contraption I have never seen anyone use in the gym. I'll dust it off tomorrow and do these! I think doing heavy deadlifts should be enough of a warmup for my hamstrings, right?

[@Ldall87]

RIP

[@peu239]

Great video 👍 I think it's almost the same as nordic curls, am I right?

[@gothops2632]

John, what you think about doing the eccentric portion of a glute-ham super slow, followed by an explosive concentric? Total of only 2 or 3 reps but total duration of set is more than 1 min? I've found these are very tough. What do you think?

[@mountaindog1]

I like it

[@gothops2632]

@@mountaindog1 I think what I've been doing would be called "eccentric quasi isometrics" on the glute ham. Very slow eccentric with multiple short pauses along the ROM, then fast on the concentric. It's definitely made my hamstrings much more resilient to injury.
